"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me" (Psalm 138:7, KJV).
Robert Bruce, the famous emancipator of Scotland, was fleeing from his enemies. He sought refuge in a cave.
Hot on his trail, his enemies reached his hideout where they saw that a spider had built a web over the mouth of the cave. His pursuers, concluding that he could not have entered without first destroying the web, turned around and went on their way.
"Oh God," Bruce prayed, "I thank Thee that in the tiny bowels of a spider you can place for me a shelter, and then send the spider in time to place it for my protection."
"God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform," and whatever is necessary to protect His children from their enemies will be done.
All of life's journey is summed up in that one work "walk." Constant action, movement onward, never stationary, always on the move. Life is not simply a walk; often it is a walk "in the midst of trouble." Since sin came into the world, pleasure is mixed with pain. Trials and conflict often seem to mar the pathway.
To the trusting, confident believer in Christ, however, there is certain renewal and deliverance. Christ's indwelling Holy Spirit, given full control, guarantees victory and joy and abundant life - supernatural life.
